My call-out to 2 Nazis were removed by my instance. Any naivety about #Mastodon is now buried deep. I had to leave my previous instance due to its antissemitic policy, and this past week antissemitism and xenophobia just run wild across the #Fediverse without consequence. Jewish lives don't matter here, if you defend the extermination of an entire country that's fine as long as it's #Israel.
Mastodon is as full of hate as any other social media.
I rarely look at Twitter these days but logged in on an account and got instantly met with Musk, Fox and Rowling. I am so very glad Mastodon exists… #twitter#musk#mastodon
Finde es gerade sehr interessant, wie ich gerade vom #ESC gar nichts auf #Mastodon mitbekomme. War damals auf Twitter anders. Da gab es dann nichts anderes zu lesen. =3
Anyone know a tool for doing analytics on #Mastodon follows and followers? I'd like to prune truly dormant accounts (no posts or replies visible even on their own server, not just ones that have made it to mine if I don't follow them) and followers who never interact with my posts.
While not peak time, still beautiful #aurora here in #NewMexico, with a star-filled sky and virtually no light pollution. Thanks to those here on #mastodon who urged everybody to get outside and take photos of the #AuroraBorealis.

It's hard to imagine #StackOverflow made their decision without considering the fate #Twitter and #Reddit suffered. That they willingly chose to burn the remaining goodwill they had with their users is bewildering.
As a fun little experiment, @damon and I worked together to get a #Mastodon instance up and running that stores media on #IPFS! It was an interesting learning experience.
I don’t think we’re ready to announce anything yet, as this was in service of another project in development. But, there’s an increasing number of ways to host content on an IPFS node service, and tie it back to platforms like Mastodon using an S3-compatible API for Object Storage and some proxying.
This is all pretty rudimentary, but the big-brain realization is that a more robust version could be done by pairing Minio to s3x if we wanted to self-host an IPFS node with those specific features.
